Taken from Planet F1's website - see what your answers are (mine are in blue.)
1..Who will win the 2008 Drivers' Championship title?
Hmm. Everyone's predicting Kimi, and of course, I'd probably agree, but I think it'll be closer than any other season, with the two McLarens in second and third.
2..Which team will win the Constructors' battle?
McLaren. Again, it'll be close, but I expect Massa to fade a little and Kovalainen to improve once he finds his feet.
3..Who will be the top rookie in 2008?
Got to be Piquet.
4..Will all 11 teams compete in the season finale in Brazil?
Yes, I don't see why not now that Super Aguri have sorted out their problems.
5..Hamilton or Kovalainen?
Head says Lewis, heart says Heikki. We haven't yet seen his full potential, but being in the McLaren should bring that out of him. Although Lewis will take an early lead because I seem to remember Heikki being a little erratic on his debut, and I think it will be a similar story as he makes the transition.
6..Who will be the first driver to be dropped?
I was going to say Nakajima at Williams, but Glock has to be in contention.
7..Will Ron Dennis still be McLaren boss at the end of the season?
Today's news suggests "yes".
8..Will Button finish on the podium?
Perhaps - if we have another race similar Indianapolis with only three drivers finishing.
9..The biggest disappointment of the season will be...
Jenson Button and David Coulthard. They always are. And not having any drivers called Schumacher.
10..Red Bull Racing or Toro Rosso?
Easy - Red Bull. They have wings.
11..Who won't be re-signed for 2009: Trulli, Coulthard, Fisichella or Barrichello?
Probably all of them, but Barrichello surely.
12..In what month will the first Lewis Hamilton 'kiss and tell' be published in the British press?
Who cares.
13..Biggest surprise of the year?
Alonso wishing Lewis good luck, and not impeding him during qualifying. And discovering that mysterious white powder in Stepney's pocket was actually polo dust.
14..Biggest mistake of the year?
I'll tell you when the season's over, although I'm hoping someone's learned his lesson about not coming in for new tyres in the pouring rain.
15..How many cars will be overtaken on the track for position during the Monaco GP?
Well, judging from the last few years we've seen the top drivers at the back of the grid, so I'm optimistic it'll be a fair few, although, in reality, the only cars that'll be passed will be the ones which have been recovered after crashing.
16..Can Super Aguri upstage Honda? Again.
Not now they have the tactical genius that's Ross Brawn, although they do have Jenson Button and Rubens Barrichello to go against them. Mind you, SA have serial crasher Sato.
17..Sebastien or Sebastian?
Sebastian (Vettel.)
18..According to the AA Routefinder device, it should take Pete Gill two hours and five minutes to travel from Silverstone to his home. How long will the journey actually take on the evening of the British GP?
Who the hell is Pete Gill?
19..Will F1's first night race in Singapore live up the hype?
I hope so, but at the very least it'll be novel.
20..Best quote of the season will go to...
Coulthard post race, or Martin Brundle. Just occasionally Button can come up with the odd witticism, but I don't expect to stay awake long enough to hear anything Lewis has to say, and as for Kimi - has anyone actually heard him talk?
